Colmore Junior School

Highlights of the week

We have some incredibly exciting sports news to share this week! A massive congratulations to both our girls' and boys' football teams, who have both successfully reached the final of the HMS Shield. This is a highly prestigious competition in children's school football, and having bothteams make it to the grand final is an outstanding achievement for our school. The dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship shown by our players throughout the tournament has been exemplary. We are immensely proud of every single one of them. Please join me in wishing both squads the very best of luck in their upcoming finals this afternoon—bring it home!

It has been another fantastic week of learning and creativity here at school. Our Year 5 students had a great time working alongside the brilliant comic book artist, Kev F, unlocking their inner storytellers and illustrators. In addition, our Year 4 pupils experienced a truly memorable history lesson as Professor McGinty brought the ancient world of the Egyptians to life with his captivating presentation. It is always a joy to see our curriculum come alive through such inspiring visitors. As we head into the half-term break, the weather forecast is looking beautifully bright. I hope you all manage to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and make the most of the weekend heatwave. Have a wonderful, restful half-term break with your families, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed for the final stretch of the school year.
